"Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence" (Honore De Balzac)

Do not let one more day go by without honoring the vocation your soul calls you to pursue. And don't pretend you don't know what it is. Of course you do. You can feel it in your stomach whenever you think about it; whenever you see another person doing it.

Life is so very short. Do now what you yearn to do in your life. You do not have to "quit your day job" in order to do this. You may do so if you choose to, but you do not have to. Many people advance a vocation while holding down their "regular job." You can, too. Then ease into your vocation and turn it into your "regular job." But you must give energy to your vocation starting today. I mean, today.

Tänk rätt!

There is no faster way to bring about misfortune than to think it is coming. Thought is a powerful force, and it is a creative tool that many people give little energy to -- or abandon in the face of any real threat to safety or stability.

What are you worried about today? Why? Rather than worry about it, would it not be a better use of your mental time to visualize a positive outcome? Use your mind in this way today and you will have tapped one of the most extraordinary tools God has placed in your hand for the creation of your tomorrows.

Det hjälper inte att klaga!

Moaning and groaning about things changes nothing, and never does anyone any good.

If you don't want to do anything to change it, stop complaining about it.
If you can't do anything to change it no matter how much you want to, then accept it for now and simply resolve to create a different tomorrow -- but don't let today be ruined while you are waiting.

All förändring är bra

All change is change for the better.

There is no such thing as "change for the worse". Change is the process of Life Itself, and that process could be called by the name "evolution". And evolution moves in only one direction: forward, and toward improvement.

Therefore, when change visits your life, you can be sure things are turning for the better. It may not look that way in the very moment change arrives, but if you will wait a while and have faith in the process, you will see that this is true.

Det finns en lösning

There is a solution. There is. But you must keep
going to find it. You cannot stop, you cannot give up.

This is about more than just patience. This is about
more than just persistence. This is about absolute
knowing that God is on your side.

When you know this, you never give up...and the
sense of struggle goes away. You simply keep moving
forward, knowing that in the end all will work out.
And that along the way there will be great insights
and wonderful remembering.

God hälsa

Good health is not the absence of symptoms, it
is the presence of peace.

Do not confuse physical vibrance with spiritual vitality.
You are not your body. Your body is simply a tool.
A magnificent tool, for sure, but nothing more than that.

As with all tools, your body will from time to time need
repair. And one day it will wear down completely.
Your soul will do neither. Not now, not ever. Listen,
therefore, to the whispers of the soul, not the cries of
the body.

Var försiktig, inte rädd

Caution is natural, but fear is not. Do not give in
to fear, yet do not abandon caution.

It is a balancing act. Caution is what causes you to look
both ways before crossing the street. Fear is what keeps
you frozen on the curb forever. You know the difference.
You can feel it.

If you're "stuck" right now, you're probably into fear.
Get out of there. You've already looked both ways. Now
cross the street, for heaven sake. The cars have long
since gone. The coast is clear. Your only obstacle now is
your own mind.
